My short run yesterday was delayed because we were painting our daughter’s room and with everything else that was going on I didn’t managed to get to the treadmill until after 8pm. Of course the run might not have been delayed so much if I hadn’t accidently dropped the paint roller on the carpet.
The paint colour is very close to the Disney’s Rapunzel’s purple colour which looks great on the walls but not so hot on the beige carpet. We eventually managed to get it cleaned up with cycles of oxy clean in hot water sucked up with our wet/dry shop vac. Looks ok this morning so that’s good.
We’ll have to load back in her room today so I think my 13.5 miles scheduled for today will be delayed until later as well. Temperatures when I woke up this morning were -35 C / -43 C with the windchill – looks like another treadmill long run today.
The run last night ended up being ok in the end but definitely started rough. I couldn’t even seem to sustain 7 mph properly and ended up backing off to 6.6 mph for a while until I started to feel better. I then slowly built back up to 7 and finished the last 2 minutes of running at 8. Felt good at the end but felt like crap at the beginning of the run – hopefully that is a temporary thing that works itself out. So 4.54 miles in 40 minutes at 1% incline with no walk breaks.
